There is no more Roadmaster Chassis Company. Between Navistar and REV, they have destroyed the blueprints and chassis manufacturing equipment but also the destroyed the brand name in favor of their own brands that they prefer to sell.

We are now left to fend for ourselves.

That is what it has felt like.  As a matter of fact, I even called the dealer that I purchased the Monaco from brand new. They asked what chassis I had and I told them "roadmaster" and he was confused. He asked again, "is it a Freightliner, Ford, P30, etc.?" I had to repeat that it was a Roadmaster.    Not the first call that I made that the person had no idea what a Roadmaster chassis was...

Call Roadmaster. They are totally awesome! 

I called Monaco and they finally got back to me: "Unfortunately, Monaco did not record any parts information for the steering draglink or any components of it for that 2011 Cayman"   Do you have the tel# for Roadmaster?  All I can find is roadmaster tow bar/tow plates...  Looking for the ball joint grease cap...

Well I replaced the grease duct boot with a little ingenuity. The tie rod end was fine on the drag link. A universal replacement wasn’t available and I wasn’t crazy about the design so much.  I used a digital caliper and took some measurements. Got to looking around my STUFF and remembered I had a new never used boot for my Blue Ox tow bar. I took some measurements and they were so close I thought why not. I could of used one less spiral on the boot but I forgot to cut it off. I’m pleased with the outcome. Were there’s a will, there’s a way as they say. 

WoW!  Great job!
